Cats are so different than dogs. Cats do not rely on humans for survival. They can hunt. They truly let us pet them. They have a independent quality to their souls.
In this way, we feel special when a cat welcomes us into their life. The subtle way a cat gives love is a special thing. I've been lucky enough to have two special cats in my care.
In four months; they are both gone.
Ripley (the siamese) left us in January and today we lost Punk Kitty (the grey calico.)
Cats are subtle animals. But there is a hole here. The quiet movements are missing. They aged. They haven't done the weird cat running or playing in a long time. And they both weren't able to jump into the bed the last week they were around.
I'll miss the head butts for petting, the purring, the surprise of a cat in a window, or bathtub.
They are great cats. I will always miss them.
